Playing Catch Up - Thank You Texas!
Written: May 30, 2009
I’m on my way to Seattle so I thought I would use this opportunity to update my blog. I will be in the Emerald City through Friday, June 5th and then returning to San Francisco. I heard that the weather in Seattle is superb so I am really looking forward to seeing my beautiful city in all it's glory.
I’ve been a busy girl. I just returned on Thursday from a 2 week stay in Texas. This was my first trip to the Lone Star state. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I landed at Hobby in Houston where my girlfriend Hunter met me. We spent the next few days In Houston, went on to Austin and then lastly Dallas/Fort Worth where I departed back to the Bay from Love Field.
Houston:
I stayed in the Uptown district in a very cool boutique style hotel. I really enjoyed the Galleria Mall where they have absolutely fabulous stores. Very upscale – the shopping was great! I went to a few of the strip clubs my first night in town just for shits and giggles – The Gentlemen’s Club, Treasures and Centerfold’s. I haven’t been to one in years and not a lot has changed. Houston has over 50 strip clubs http://www.tuscl.net/c.php?CID=40 . Apparently, it is also the second largest plastic surgery city after Los Angeles. You know like they say everything is BIGGER in Texas especially the boobs.
Austin:
Austin home of the University of Texas and by far my most favorite city out of the three I visited. It was very reminiscent of Seattle with a little Berkeley flair. The Whole Foods flagship store is in Austin and so Hunter & I stocked up on some goodies for our rooms. Traveling is so hard because you always have to eat out. I like to pick a few things up for my room if I have the chance. Hunter took me to The Salt Lick, which is located in Wildwood, just a short ride outside of Austin. It was served family style on a picnic table and turned out to be the best Bar-B-Que I have ever eaten. It was a REAL Texas treat! We did the pub-crawl downtown on 6th street. Hunter even got on the bar at Coyote Ugly and danced – It was crazy fun! The weather was warm and so I enjoyed many days at the hotel pool, which overlooked Lady Bird Lake. It was good to have the warm sun on my skin I even got a little color. Lastly, I wanted to visit The Oasis restaurant at Lake Travis. The Oasis is said to have 3 outdoor decks that encompass a spectacular sunset view. Several people recommended it to me however due to inclement weather I was unable to make it.
Fort Worth:
Arrived at the hotel in downtown Fort Worth to a huge Telemundo concert. The street to the hotel had been blocked off. I later found out that the Cinco de Mayo celebrations planned for earlier in the month had been canceled due to the Swine Flu (H1N1) outbreak. So instead they held the Cinco De Mayo Festival on Bente De Ocho - a little odd but it worked! My hotel overlooked the big round and rapidly deteriorating Fort Worth Convention Center but the view of the city was great. The PGA Colonial Classic was being held in Forth Worth during my stay so there were an abundance of Golfers, Caddies and fans moving around the downtown portion of the city. You could always tell who was with the PGA as they just oddly didn’t fit in to this Stock Yard city. The Tex-Mex and Mexican food is plentiful in this state – which suited me just fine. I had some fabulous Tex-Mex from a place called Pappasito’s Cantina – it was to die for. The margaritas weren’t so bad either! *Wink* I tried a dish called Shrimp Brochette – it was delicious – I can almost taste it now. Yumm! You can probably tell now that I ate my way through Texas. Thoroughly enjoyed it and am now on a much needed diet!!
Good times were had in Texas but I admit I was VERY happy to return to the West Coast. Hunter is planning to move to Austin so at least I will have an excuse to go back – and a place to stay!
I guess I better wrap this up as my plane is starting to descend into Seattle. Hunter got to Seattle earlier today and will be gathering me from the airport I'm excited to see her. We have a lot of fun togetehr. The pilot says it is sunny and 77 in Seattle and it’s still early – P E R F E C T!!!!

Ashley in the Big Easy - New Orleans 3/30 - 4/1
Wow, looks like I am missing a BIG birthday bash in Chicago! I can't wait for all of you to report back on the fun.
News:
I will be visiting New Orleans, LA from 3/30 - 4/1. Coffee and beignets anyone? A friend of mine (former NOLA resident and EB Blogger Amaya Lovely) has a client flying us both in. I will fly to Orlando on 3/29 for one night and then off to NOLA the next morning where I will meet up with Amaya. She is flying in from Jacksonville, Fl. Both of our planes get in at the same time. He got us very nice hotel accommodations right on Bourbon Street and close to canal right in the French Quarter. I'm really excited to go as I have never been before. Kelly Shannon recommended I go on the Ghost & Cemetery tour - it's now on my "list of things to do".
More News:
It is now safe to say that I am living in the San Francisco Bay area again as I finally moved into my place. It was such a nightmare having to deal with my former apartment complex in Seattle. It has literally taken months and months to get the whole crappy situation resolved. It took a lot of patience on my part. It feels so good to finally be able to cook again, wear clothes that have been packed away and not be living out of a suitcase. Living in hotels is NOT fun. I do like that someone makes my bed everyday but other than that I will pass on hotels. Unfortunately, I still have to visit them regularly. But as long as I have a home to go to I am good. :)
That's all for now. I'm off to take a walk - it's a beautiful day. The bay area town I live in is right on the water and so darn cute! Lots of yummy restaurants and cute little boutiques. Lots for me to explore!
Hugs, Kisses & Sexy Wishes,
Ashley DeVyne
